Overview

The Porto Elounda is the latest five-star creation
of architect Spyros Kokotos, designer of all the well-known luxury
resorts in Elounda. Unique in many respects, Porto Elounda
is the only 'Insignia Resort' in Greece.

The Resort lies 500m from the renowned Hotel Elounda Mare,
the only Relais & Chateaux in Greece.
Both Hotels are under the same management and receive the personal attention of
the Kokotos family.

The Porto Elounda Deluxe Resort is built on the
seafront, on a plot of 110,000 m² with a 150 meter long private sandy beach.
The view from the Main Building, the Villas and Bungalows over Mirabello
Bay and the distant mountains, is magnificent. The rooms and suites in
the main building have all been renovated in 2003/2004, providing excellent
accommodation with large balconies or terraces. The public areas are decorated
with antique and contemporary furniture and rugs. Porto Elounda
is also the sole Greek resort that includes an Executive
nine-hole Golf Course and a Golf Academy.

The first view from the hilltop is a panorama of the Bay of Mirabello, where
the foreground is dominated by the Porto Elounda De Luxe Resort and the
green expanse of its golf course. Designed with respect to the architectural
tradition of the land, this unique complex is an oasis of recreation and
discreet luxury comprising the hotel and the seafront bungalows and villas.

Staying at Porto Elounda is a delight of traditional Cretan
architecture and interior design. The typical whitewashed surfaces bind
harmoniously with the brown and gray rock walls, the local carob and olive
trees. The decoration is exclusively antique pieces of folk-art: carpets,
chests, tapestries, mantelpieces with fine Cretan marble throughout the Halls
and Salons.

Some Rooms have direct access from their balconies to the large oblong pools.
Right on the seafront are Bungalows with direct access to the
sandy beach or platforms on the rocks and there even is a Grande Suite
with its own private beach, outdoor pool and garden, indoor pool and more.

The Resort has been awarded the European Blue Flag for the
past six consecutive years in recognition of the continuous efforts of
maintaining the environment in pristine condition, for efficient water
management, wastewater treatment and for the participation in the raising of
environmental awareness among the staff and local schoolchildren.

State of the art 2.200m² Six Senses Spa™ with thalassotherapy pool and
thermal suite.

The recreational facilities of porto elounda De Luxe Resort, in
addition to the 9-hole par-3 golf course, include two tennis courts and a
gymnasium with a variety of fitness equipment. The heated freshwater indoor
swimming pool, the sauna and the hamam at “Thermais” is open to all the guests
of the resort.

needs a face lift

This is a 5 star hotel and whilst some of the rooms etc have been renovated the rest needs a face lift. overall for the money and the star rating it is a dissapointment. there is a lot of good at this hotel - the staff are amazingly friendly and great with choldren, the beach and pool area is perfect if you have little ones because you can see them pretty much from wherever you decide to camp up for the day so it feels safe. Our room was on the 1st floor and there was a leak in the corridor which was covered up by two green towels every day and night for the entire stay of 2 weeks. The cement had been repaired in our private pool and it was cracked, patchy and very badly repaired with little attention to detail. also there were broken tiles on the bottom which you could easily catch your foot on. In the childrens centre the pool rim is filthy with many Summers worth of old suntan lotion, grey and caked around the top 4 inches of the poolside, which you have to sit in everytime you get in or out of the pool - it was rather disgusting. Also the bottom of the pool needas repairing, it is ripped underfoot and patchy. In the main restaurant at least 2 of the floor to ceiling windows are cracked and broken which seems dangerous. worst of all on our final breakfast morning we saw a large mouse/rat run down the side of the restaurant - the restaurant manager also saw this and just rolled his eyes stating 'thats what happens when the windows are open!' Down at the pool bar they are serving snacks - the ice cream is horrible quality, don't buy it! At the Italian restaurant - again down by the pool, we had one meal - i ordered a pizza which arrived firstly to the wrong table, then it re-appeared with a soggy base and uncooked topping - i did not eat it and was not charged for it either. At the pool in the mornings there is always a shortgae of towels - one morning we waited 2 hours for towels. In summary, I would go back to this hotel but with 2 conditions. First is that I would pay the same prices if they renovate all the rooms, repair the pools etc and get their standards up to 5 star levels. second condition would be as an alternative I would go back but they need to reduce their prices. It feels like a 5 star hotel living on an old repuation, tired and old fashioned - modernise and you would have a perfect hotel for a deluxe family vacation!!
